Raven: Come Work as a Bartender at My Bar

However, you can buy silver bullets from the Anti-Entropy faction and Honkai Fission Bomb from the Schicksal faction.

Even close-range bombardment with mech shells can deduct half of the crystals, so Chen Luo couldn't even imagine how much worse the rewards would be for large-scale, indiscriminate, all-around bombardment.

I hope the talent panel doesn't think this is some kind of sudden natural disaster and then not give me a single penny.

At that point, it would truly be a case of losing both wife and army.

After all, both of these items are very expensive in their respective camps.

"So this is what you mean by 'support'?" Raven emerged from the shadows, holding the Third Divine Key, and looked helplessly at Chen Luo, who was resting on his mech.

Working with Chen Luo was incredibly boring, because Raven couldn't even get a single kill.

No, we did manage to get a few kills, but compared to the unbelievably large number of Militants, those few kills are nothing at all.

The Raven's commissions were supposed to be paid for each person killed, but now that all the people have been taken by the employers, the Raven's profits are plummeting.

And you're playing support?

"Look at what you're saying. Isn't the purpose of support to ensure the main DPS doesn't get hurt? Tell me, are you hurt anywhere? I protected you well, didn't I?" Chen Luo said after patting the mecha under his butt.

"...Let's split up," Raven said after a moment of silence.

If you keep doing this, I won't be able to get any kills, okay? If I don't get any kills, I won't get any cash rewards. If I don't get any cash rewards, how are you going to support me?

"Huh? Was it because I didn't protect you well enough?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"No, it's because you protected it too well," Raven said coldly, then walked off in another direction.

Raven felt a pang of pain as he watched those $1,000 bills disappear before his eyes.

"Want to act alone? Alright then..." After hearing Raven's words, Chen Luo hesitated for a moment before nodding. Perhaps, as Raven said, he had protected the other party too well.

Moreover, if they act separately, their efficiency will be greatly improved. For example, in the encirclement just now, Raven did not exert much effort at all, but wasted a lot of time.

Chen Luo and Raven are both the type of people who prefer to work alone, so it doesn't seem like it would be good for either of them to work together.

"We only have five decoy grenades left. Looks like we'll have to use them sparingly. Let's go explore somewhere else," Chen Luo said, patting his armor, which was almost completely empty of ammunition.

The armor seemed to understand Chen Luo's meaning, or perhaps it was "moved" by Chen Luo's Furniture Mastery, so it slowly flew away into the distance.

This basic armor can also fly, but it can't fly very fast or very high.

Thinking of this, Chen Luo missed the Heavy Cannon Rabbit even more. The Heavy Cannon Rabbit was truly a perfect means of transportation.

It can fly and launch rockets, making it an absolute score-scoring machine.

At the same time, Chen Luo also drew his Unsheathed Sword.

A thread of Wind Element was tightly wrapped around the Unsheathed Sword, which Chen Luo manipulated to fly far away, killing scattered Militants at close to mid-range.

The Unsheathed Sword can grow stronger with its master through constant battles, even when it's used to crush weaker opponents. So, after mastering the skill of controlling the silk threads, Chen Luo began to wield the [Flying Sword].

In a sense, Chen Luo has also learned the art of sword control.

This is why Chen Luo didn't directly use that small airship or Flight Spell to snipe the Militants from above.

Of course, besides the Flying Sword, Chen Luo's bow was also not just for show. For certain Militants were too far away, the bow was needed to deal with them.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo, who was searching for Militants on the road, suddenly paused.

There are indeed many Militants and Honkai Beasts in Changkong City, but Chen Luo's target is only the Militants, not the Honkai Beasts.

Honkai Beasts are much harder to deal with than Militants. Compared to Militants, killing Honkai Beasts is a lot of effort for little reward. With Little Herrscher's help, Chen Luo can distinguish where there are Militants and where there are Honkai Beasts.

However, while the number of Militants was indeed large, it was still limited. After being bombed by Chen Luo so many times, finding the Militants was indeed quite troublesome.

However, this time Chen Luo was stunned, not because the Militants had all been Chen Luo and could not be found, but because Chen Luo's Vision was malfunctioning.

It's not that Chen Luo's Vision is about to evolve, nor that the Vision is about to explode, but rather that the Vision has been taken away.

Someone is touching Chen Luo's Vision.

Presumably, the Vision that was thrown into the Honkai energy reactor has been discovered. But that's not surprising, since the Vision has been absorbing Honkai energy at high power. If the other party still can't sense anything, it means that Anti-Entropy has completely collapsed.

Moreover, Chen Luo is not flustered at all, since the Vision can appear in Chen Luo 'Chen Luo backpack at any time if he wants to.

The Vision is a very sturdy thing, especially Chen Luo's Vision, which can be described as exceptionally sturdy.

Chen Luo once made a bet with the Herrscher of Knowledge, saying that the other party couldn't destroy the Vision. The other party disagreed and tried to cut it with his sword. After trying for a long time without success, he started to smash it with his fist.

In the end, if Chen Luo hadn't stopped them, the other side would have attacked the Tai Xu Sword God.

Chen Luo was reluctant to immediately reclaim the Vision, because the concentration of Honkai energy at ME Company was quite high.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo's body suddenly trembled.

It wasn't for any other reason, it was simply because it felt so sudden that I was startled.

"Which bastard is smashing my Vision?" Chen Luo muttered.

No matter how far away he was, Chen Luo could vaguely sense the state of the Vision, just like now that the Vision had been smashed.

However, while one can sense the state of the situation, one cannot empathize with it, and Chen Luo will not be harmed because of the Vision's condition.

"Huh? Which bastard is biting the Vision with his teeth again?"

"Damn! It's switched to using electric current again, isn't it?"

"Damn it, if it weren't for ME Company's high concentration of Honkai energy..."

Chen Luo could sense that the Vision had never left the ME Company's territory. It must have been picked up by the people who came to rescue Xing, and they were probably conducting experiments on it now.

When Chen Luo was looting their materials warehouse, he didn't take away some of the laboratory's experimental equipment, because Chen Luo had already taken many sets.

Therefore, it was not surprising to Chen Luo that the other party still had materials that could be used for experiments.

And who says the other party will definitely tell you all their secret bases?

"Wow, Honkai energy, such powerful Honkai energy..." After enduring insane blows, water drenching, and fire, Chen Luo finally got what he wanted.

"Report, Lady Cocolia, this glass sphere glows after being stimulated by Honkai energy and produces a rather intense Honkai energy reaction, as if it is absorbing Honkai energy. But we don't know what will happen when it reaches saturation."

"Then give me a boost! What Changkong City has in abundance right now is Honkai energy! Since they've sent it, there's no reason not to accept it. Work hard to analyze this stuff! I need results within three days," Cocolia ordered from the other end of the communicator.

"Yes!"

"Hmm, which good person is continuously infusing my Vision with Honkai energy?" Chen Luo pondered silently.

Chapter 94 Raven: Come be a bartender at my bar!

Day 4, 12 noon.

"Let me see. You killed over 600 Militants in almost a day, right?" Chen Luo said, taking the simple form handed to him by the Raven.

Generally speaking, after mercenaries complete their employer's mission, they will hand over some evidence as proof of receiving the bounty. Sometimes it is a photo, sometimes it is something the other party is on, or simply a video or the other party's head.

However, these things are not very practical in Changkong City. Once Militants dies, he will slowly dissipate, so taking his belongings is naturally not very realistic.

Taking photos is also quite troublesome; you have to kill one and take a picture of each one...

Raven is a long-range sniper; its Third Divine Key allows it to see far away, but its camera cannot capture such distances.

As for the videos, Chen Luo doesn't have that much time to watch them all. If he had that much time, Chen Heng might as well go kill a few Militants.

So Chen Luo simply told Raven to submit a form based on her own estimates.

"To be precise, it's 669," Raven said.

"Huh? Is it 669th? It should be 619th, right? You must be mistaken." Chen Luo looked up at his squad's kill record and then gave Raven a strange look.

Good heavens, I never expected you, with your thick eyebrows and big Raven, to lie about military intelligence.

"!"

"Oh, I misspoke earlier, it really is 619." Raven paused for a moment, then corrected himself.

Raven was genuinely surprised that Chen Luo could accurately state his kill count.

Raven knew perfectly well how many Militants he had killed. This was just a test for Chen Luo. Of course, if Chen Luo really believed him, Raven wouldn't suffer any loss and could even get tens of thousands of dollars for free.

However, the current probing seemed so powerless in front of Chen Luo. Raven really couldn't understand how Chen Luo knew how many Militants he had killed.

"Your kill count is a bit low," Chen Luo shook his head in dissatisfaction.

"Do you think everyone can sense the exact location of Militants like you? You have no idea how hard it is to Militants once they hide inside a house." Raven couldn't help but complain upon hearing Chen Luo's words.

Militants don't just wander around the streets all day. Some Militants become Militants members directly at home, so some Militants stay at home or inside buildings.

Raven will not venture deep into buildings to search for and kill Militants unless absolutely necessary.

Raven are accustomed to hopping between tall buildings and then standing on high ground to shoot down those Militants.

As for Honkai Beasts, Raven does have some abilities that would make them easier to deal with, but... Chen Luo only mentioned the price of the Militants, not the price of the Honkai Beasts, right?

Furthermore, the Raven wasn't just constantly killing Militants; Raven was also searching for survivors.

"Finding survivors is no excuse. Look at you, you only found one survivor in a day. Look at me, I found two survivors in a day," Chen Luo said to the little children diligently learning the language in a corner of the survivor camp.

The number of survivors at the base has now expanded to five.

Four little girls and one little boy—the male-to-female ratio is extremely unbalanced, but there's nothing that can be done about it, since it's incredibly difficult for men to survive the Great Honkai.

This world is inherently unfriendly to men, or rather, men are unlucky enough not to have waited until the previous era for the Doctor. Mei to modify male genes.

"..." Raven had nothing to refute about Chen Luo's words.

The other side did indeed have more survivors than they did, and they probably killed more Militants as well.

But what can I do?

"I think this is the Seven Thunders of Judgment, because he was killing ordinary Militants, so he stopped cooperating later on," Raven said, taking out his Third Divine Key.

"No way, no way, you can actually blame a weapon? And you're telling me this slingshot is the Third Divine Key?" Chen Luo said, pointing at the Raven and the slingshot in his hand.

"Believe it or not, this really is the Third Divine Key," Raven said, fiddling with the slingshot in his hand.

"The Third Divine Key, the Key of Judgment, the Seven Thunders of Judgment, is like the Herrscher of Thunder from which its power originates—a capricious the Lady. Not only its power, but also its output, bullet type, performance, and even weapon form, exhibit ever-changing and unpredictable behaviors in different situations or in the hands of different people," Raven explained to Chen Luo.

Of course, Raven only explained this basic information to Chen Luo; she didn't tell him anything about the special abilities of the Third Divine Key.

"Then, can I take a look?" Chen Luo asked, pointing to the Third Divine Key.

"No," the Raven refused outright.

Are you kidding me? After seeing your ability to store gold in a special space, would I dare show you the Third Divine Key?

What should I do if you take away the Third Divine Key?

For a mercenary like Raven, who has been working for many years, it's essential to be wary of others.

Otherwise, they would have been eaten to the bone long ago.

Although Chen Luo seemed quite agreeable, that wasn't the reason Raven lent Chen Luo the Third Divine Key.

"Is it not good? Anyway, I think this Third Divine Key looks pretty good to me." Chen Luo was a little disappointed, but he didn't care too much.

"..." The Raven remained silent.

Another reason why Raven was unwilling to let Chen Luo see the Third Divine Key was that the Third Divine Key in her possession seemed to quite like Chen Luo.

The Third Divine Key is a weapon that is extremely dependent on compatibility.

What if the Third Divine Key in your possession ends up in Chen Luo's hands and he prefers Chen Luo? What are you going to do with Raven then? Wouldn't Raven lose face?

Raven knew all too well just how powerful the Third Divine Key.

Moreover, although the two are currently coexisting peacefully, there are still concerns about whether the other party might covet the Third Divine Key if they knew how powerful it was. Therefore, it would be better to simply refuse outright.

"It's lunchtime, how about we go grab some lunch?" Chen Luo suddenly invited Raven.

"Hmm, where should we go for lunch?" Raven paused for a moment.

"I'm Traveler from Different World, so I naturally have my own lunch-eating skills. So recommend me to World Serpent, and I'm sure I can become a leader. Then World Serpent will definitely give you a big bonus." Chen Luo looked at Raven expectantly.

"No," the Raven refused.

"Alright then." Chen Luo sighed, then summoned the bar.

"Wait, where are the children?"
